Incomplete humeral condylar fracture was diagnosed by means of radiology, CT, scintigraphy, arthroscopy and bone biopsy in two English Pointer dogs. In both cases an acute thoracic limb lameness, unrelated to a known episode of major trauma, was observed. Incomplete humeral condylar fracture, mainly described in the Spaniel breeds, has been recently diagnosed in Labrador retrievers, Rottweiler, German Wachtel and other breeds. The pathogenesis of the condition is still unknown, but incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle and mechanical stress, alone or associated, have to be considered. However, our clinical and histopathological data lead us to believe that in Pointers, high performance dogs, the mechanical stress can assume a critical ethiopathogenetic role.

Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, including chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) and Google Gemini, have significantly increased access to medical information. However, in pediatric orthopaedics, no study has evaluated the accuracy of AI chatbots compared with evidence-based recommendations, including the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons clinical practice guidelines (AAOS CPGs). The aims of this study were to compare responses by ChatGPT-4.

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Yeager, Rutz, Strother, Spitler, and Johnson), and the Heersink School of Medicine, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL (Gross, Benson, and Carter).
Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.
Humeral Head-Split Fracture in Two Dogs.
Vet Radiol Ultrasound
January 2025
Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and Roslin Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Roslin, UK.
Two skeletally immature female dogs were each investigated for chronic weight-bearing thoracic limb lameness. The first patient was lame for 2 months following a tumble whilst playing, and the second patient had been intermittently lame since 3 weeks of age. In both cases, radiographic examination of the shoulder revealed fissuring of the caudal humeral head consistent with an incomplete proximal humeral Salter-Harris type IV fracture with an Enoki-mushroom-like appearance of the caudal fragment, where two heads rise from a common stem.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound-guided interscalene (IS) block provides effective pain relief for shoulder surgeries but can lead to hemidiaphragmatic paralysis and breathing difficulties.
- This study compared the efficacy of a superior trunk (ST) block with the traditional IS block in patients undergoing humerus surgery, finding significantly lower rates of diaphragmatic paresis with the ST block.
- Both blocks offered similar pain relief and opioid usage post-surgery, but the ST block is recommended as a safer alternative for patients with breathing issues.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the medium-term clinical and radiological outcomes of a new thinner metal-backed glenoid prosthesis, addressing high failure rates of older versions.
- Thirty-nine patients with specific shoulder conditions were analyzed over a follow-up period of 2 to 10 years, where significant improvement in shoulder function was noted following surgery.
- While some radiological issues were observed, such as osteolysis and humeral migration, overall results showed promising enhancement in function and satisfaction among patients.
